Capitol Considerations
Body
This year, one of the greatest concerns of folks in our district has been the disturbing amount of illegal activity happening within the medical marijuana industry.

To best address this issue, we voted to make the Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority (OMMA), which was previously part of the Oklahoma State Department of Health (OSDH), an independent state agency on Nov. 1, 2022, when SB 1543 took effect. This has helped provide them more authority to regulate the industry.

Body

Usually consisting of something I want to discuss, maybe an obsession at the moment, a series I like, or an interesting entertainment or art topic. I had planned to do something pertaining to card games, of which I’ve been on a recent kick, but then I saw a headline from RollingStone in my newsfeed: “Your NFTs Are Actually - Finally - Totally Worthless”.
